Ramped

I'm currently "ramped" at the hospital, which means my patient is stuck on our ambulance stretcher at triage because there are no hospital beds available.

Not good at after midnight. Not good out of our catchment area. Not good when I haven't been able to complete an 8-hour rest break in over 24 hours now. Not good that I've now been up for 18 hours and am probably going to be past the 20 hour mark by the time we make it back.

But it's all ok because tomorrow is my last day for the week.
